Ecowool have been selling the best New Zealand sheepskin rugs for nearly 25 years, and in that time they have served thousands of satisfied customers from all over the world. You could say they are very passionate about their sheepskins. As they like to give their customers a choice, they stock Ecowool sheepskin rugs, plus Bowron and Windward rugs.

 

Ecowool sheepskin rugs are super soft, natural and warm creamy white, and are available in a range of other great colours. They are environmentally friendly and natural and are made exclusively from New Zealand sheepskins. Ecowool can assure every stage of their supply and tanning process as, unlike some sheepskins made elsewhere in the world they're not tanned using harsh chemicals like arsenic and formaldehyde.

 

The sheepskins are expertly trimmed, machined and washed and left to dry in the sun, and the tanned fleece is then combed over and over by hand and finally polished to enhance the natural lustre of the sheep's wool. The finished rug takes over 25 stages, expertly carried out by skilled hands.Long lasting and a pleasure to own, they're Ecowool’s best-sellers year after year.

 

Bowron and Windward sheepkin rugs, both world renowned quality brands, are produced using similarly exacting methods and are a slightly whiter shade of fleece. The Bowron name is synonymous with the world's finest sheepskin products and Ecowool stock only the 'Gold Star' grade of rug - the top of the range.

 

Bowron expertly match each pelt to form spectacular large sheepskin and area rugs. Although these rugs are predominantly used on the floor as luxurious coverings, they can also be used as a throw, on beds, or draped over any type of seat. They are easy to care for and exceptionally long lasting, and are as soft as a cloud and are available as single rugs or as multiple skins. Bowron sheepskin rugs are a slightly purer, ivory shade than the creamy white Ecowool range.

 

Windward Premium Grade rugs are made from quality New Zealand and Australian lambskins, and less than one in ten skins processed is considered good enough to wear the Windward brand name. Windward processed its first skin in 1966. Since then, the company has constantly improved the processes used to convert one of nature's most versatile resources into a range of diverse and original lambskin creations, using totally organic molecules to tan its products. Each skin is processed through multiple stages before it is finally ready for sale. The result is a supple, full leather backing and a soft wool which is extremely stable to temperature and light.
